Lucchini gets enlarged breasts from a cursed idol, and subsequently "infects" other witches by fondling them, giving them enlarged breasts while also making them obsessed with cursing other women. Perrine saves Lynette from Eila and Sanya by tackling them and causing them to flee. She's fine at first, but when they escape into the kitchen, Perrine subsequently develops enlarged breasts and attempts to fondle the other witches.

* ZombieApocalypse: PlayedForLaughs in episode 7 of ''Road to Berlin''. An ancient fertility statue grants Lucchini large breasts, and anyone she fondles subsequently gets "infected" with large breasts as well.

** The Yamato returns in ''TheMovie'', providing artillery support against the main enemy.



** TheMovie is significantly more serious and subdued than the TV seasons before it, focusing more of the effects of the Neuroi war on a personal scale, as well as putting a spotlight on Yoshika's medical knowledge; as such, there's quite a bit of blood spilled in this film, a far cry from the largely BloodlessCarnage of the preceding installments.



* RealityEnsues:
** When Barkhorn gets reckless by Yoshika's resemblance of her sister, she gets shot down by the Neuroi.
** In ''The Movie'', Yoshika is a maverick ensign who helps out with chores on the aircraft carrier despite holding an officer's rank and is willing to disobey orders to rescue the others if the situation calls for it. For obvious reasons, Shizuka initially distrusts her.
